True Position Actual Basics

[[Lu...]]

Hello,

Is there an easy way to report true positions basic results?

Thank you

Resources - Characteristics Settings Editor - Report - Additional Report - Set to On for all Characteristics. This will add the axis deviation results underneath the position. 

If you want separate Characteristics, you would need to create a Result Element. Found in Size - More Result Element. Then you can set a formula to pull the axis deviations for you. 

abs( getActual("#28_Position_Ø.121 to D A B - 7").actual.y)

Here is an example of what the code looks like. I added an abs in front to report the absolute value because in my case the values reported could be positive or negative. To switch between axis, you just change the end where it says "actual.y" - I was reporting the y axis deviation in my case. Just set the characteristic name to the correct characteristic name that applies to you where mine says "#28_Position_Ø.121 to D A B - 7"

Turn on "Additional report".

This will show the relative coordinates of the true position in your report.

Only use Additional Positional results in the report. The addition of the alignment features in the position dialog will change the actuals in the feature dialog. When adding the alignment in the position dialog it releases the degrees of freedom and reapplies them as needed. This process will change the actuals, perhaps by a tenth of a microns but they it will be slightly different.
